SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: May 20, 2009 AGENDA ITEM:
DEPARTMENT: City Manager’s Office CITY MANAGER: Dave Anderson
PREPARED BY: Ann Sullivan, City Clerk DIRECTOR: Dave Anderson
SUBJECT: Appointments to Outside Agencies/Committees Representing the City of
Saratoga
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept report and direct staff accordingly.
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the City of Saratoga has four (4) Outside Agencies that require representation from the
City of Saratoga. Those agencies are: 1) VTA Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee
(BPAC); 2) Advisory Council to the Council on Aging; 3) Housing & Community Development
Advisory Committee (HCDAC); and 4) Water Pollution Control Plant Master Plan Community
Advisory Group.
Staff has determined that it would be beneficial to the City to incorporate these (4) Outside
Agencies into the normal process of reviewing our City Commissions. This annual review will
ensure adequate noticing to the timely recruitment of interested applicants as well as avoiding the
loss of City representation on these agencies/committees.
DISCUSSION:
I have attached a brief synopsis of the four (4) outside agencies/committees. Currently, three of
the four agencies are represented by a Saratoga resident, with the exception of the HCDAC. The
appointed resident for this committee has not attended a meeting in several years. If Council so
desires, staff could recruit immediately for interested applicants and Council could make an
appointment to this committee before the next scheduled meeting, which is October 22, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no financial impacts.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
2
The City’s Outside Agency appointments would not be conducted on a regular basis and the
HCDAC would remain unrepresented by the City of Saratoga.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
N/A
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
Implement Council’s direction.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
